Phillies' Odubel Herrera's charges dropped in court
Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Odubel Herrera's charges, including simple assault and knowingly causing bodily injury, were dropped Wednesday morning in a New Jersey court.
"The state is not able to proceed with the charges because the plaintiff, [Herrera's] girlfriend, doesn’t want to go forward with them," tweets Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic. Herrera has been on administrative leave since being arrested back on May 27 after allegedly attacking his girlfriend inside the Golden Nugget Casino in Atlantic City. Despite avoiding legal repercussions, Major League Baseball may still decide to issue a suspension.
Herrera was hitting .222/.288/.341 with a homer, 10 doubles, 16 RBI, 12 runs scored, and 2 steals in 139 plate appearances this season.
